On the next few pages are described all the actual commands available
for use in RAPTOR menus. They are broken up into several sections:
File/menu related, archive manipulation related, batch transfer
related, door related, file system related, hangup related, message
related, other functions (main menu, etc.), automessage related and
SysOp related.

__________________________
"-" - FILE/MENU COMMANDS
__________________________
Cmdkeys : "-C"
Function: Display message on commandline (use with linking)
MString : <string>
Cmdkeys : "-F"
Function: Display a text file
MString : [<path>] <filename> [.<ext>]
[<path>] Optional directory location of file.
<filename> An 8-character MS-DOS filename.
[.<ext>] Optional MS-DOS extension, if not ".MSG"
and/or ".ANS".
This command will display a text file. If no <path> is
given, the file is assumed to be located in the AFILES
directory. If no .<ext> is given, RAPTOR will look for
the standard "*.MSG" and/or "*.ANS" extensions. That is, if
the "*.ANS" version exists and the user's ANSI is enabled,
it will be displayed, otherwise the "*.MSG" is displayed.
Cmdkeys : "-H"
Function: Menu key help (use for ?:Help command)
MString : None
Not really required any more. RAPTOR will automatically
display the current menu's help file (or the generic short
or long menu) from ANY menu if the user enters a "?".
Cmdkeys : "-L"
Function: Display a line of text
MString : <string>
Cmdkeys : "-Q"
Function: Read an InfoForm questionaire file (answers in .ASW)
MString : <InfoForm questionaire filename>
Cmdkeys : "-R"
Function: Read an InfoForm questionaire answer file
MString : <InfoForm questionaire filename>
If the MString is "", the filename is prompted for.
Cmdkeys : "-S"
Function: Append line to sysop log file (SYSOP.LOG) (use with linking)
MString : <string>

Cmdkeys : "-;"
Function: Execute macro
MString : <macro>
This command will enter <macro> into the user's macro
buffer, and the macro will be executed in the same manner as
that of a user-defined macro. All occurances of ";" in the
<macro> string are substituted with <CR>s. Many different
things are possible with this command.
Cmdkeys : "-$"
Function: Prompt for password
MString : <password> [ [;<prompt>] ;<bad-message>]
This command first will display <prompt>, if it exists. If
not, a default ":" prompt will be displayed. If the
password is entered incorrectly, <bad-message> will be
displayed, if it exists, and all further linking will be
terminated. This can be used for special passwords for
remote shelling to DOS, etc.
Cmdkeys : "-^"
Function: Goto menu
MString : <menu file> [ [;C] ;<link command>]
Loads in <menu file> (automatic assumed extension of
".MNU"). If ";C" is specified, the Menu Stack is cleared
BEFORE going to the new menu.
If <link command> is specified, the command with command
letters of <link command> will be executed after the new
menu is loaded. Example: "-^", "msg;C;M" will clear the
Menu Stack, load MSG.MNU, and execute command "M" (Read
Mail).
Cmdkeys : "-/"
Function: Gosub menu
MString : <menu file> [ [;C] [;<link command>] ]
Adds the CURRENT menu to the Menu Stack, and loads in <menu
file> (automatic assumed extension of ".MNU"). If ";C" is
specified, the Menu Stack is cleared BEFORE going to the new
menu.
If <link command> is specified, the command with command
letters of <link command> will be executed after the new
menu is loaded. Example: "-/", "msg;;M" will save the
current menu file on the Menu Stack, load MSG.MNU, and
execute command "M" (Read Mail).
See also Cmdkeys "-\" (Return from menu).

RAPTOR Menu Command Documentation - Version 2.5
Cmdkeys : "-\"
Function: Return from menu
MString : [ [C] [;<link command>] ]
Loads in the last menu file in the Menu Stack. If "C" is
specified, the Menu Stack is cleared BEFORE returning to the
old menu.
If <link command> is specified, the command with command
letters of <link command> will be executed after the new
menu is loaded. Example: "-\", "C;M" will clear the Menu
Stack, return to the previous menu, and execute command "M"
(Read Mail, if the menu returning to is "MSG.MNU").
See also Cmdkeys "-/" (Gosub menu).
